BJP alleges political deal over delay in CMRL-pay off case
Image: The Hindu · original report

BJP national executive member P.K. Krishnadas has alleged that a delay in filing a police case in the CMRL-pay off matter points to a covert understanding among senior leaders. He named Rahul Gandhi and M.A. Baby, but the supplied report gives no response to the allegation.

BJP national executive member P.K. Krishnadas has alleged that a delay in filing a police case in the CMRL-pay off matter indicates a political understanding involving senior leaders. The Hindu reported that Krishnadas based his claim on the fact that a case was not filed despite advice from the Attorney General.

He said the delay suggested a covert “deal” intended to undermine the integrity of the investigation. Among the leaders he named were Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and M.A. Baby.

The supplied material does not describe the alleged agreement, state what action the Attorney General advised or explain how the delay affected the investigation. Krishnadas’s comments are an allegation by a BJP representative. The available report does not establish that a deal existed or that any named individual interfered with the case.

No response from Rahul Gandhi, M.A. Baby, the Congress, the CPI(M), the Attorney General or the police was included in the supplied material. Details of the CMRL-pay off matter itself are also not provided.

The dispute therefore centres on the timing of the police case and the political interpretation placed on that delay by the BJP leader.
